Eating Healthy Carbs

MYTH
Eating Healthy Carbs will control blood sugar

Fact; all carbs matters, says Becky Abel, R.N., CDE. Director of the Diabetes Self-management Center for the LHC Group in Lafayette, Louisiana. One of Abel’s patients with high glucose was shocked to learn that her daily tropical fruit smoothies packed 126 grams of carbohydrates-eight carb servings! Sure, it was made with healthful fruit, but good-for-you ingredients don’t negate the carbs. Healthy trail mix, whole grain cereals, and sweet potatoes supply nutrients, but they’re packed with carbs too, and your body is aware of every one. In a curious moment, I weighed some apples and oranges. Most haad 25-30 grams of carbs, equaling, two servings of fruit, not one. Yikes! So I started buying bagged fruits, which are often smaller. Weighing and measuring portions really helps. With practice, you’ll get better at knowing what a serving looks like. The moral of this history; count the carbs-all carbs.

Tai Chi Helps Diabetes

Control Your Diabetes With Tai Chi

The gentle martial art of tai chi may help manage or reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, two recent studies indicate. Taiwanese researchers found that tai chi helped lower long-term blood sugar levels in 30 middle-aged adults with type 2 diabetes. In a second study, Australian researchers found that a combination of tai chi and qigong, a therapeutic Chinese breathing practice, helped 11 adults at risk of type 2 diabetes. Both studies were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Daily routine

My daily routine, starts out with climbing over the couch to get to the floor. Once I've completed that task I grab my breakfast of champions (Pain medications)

Then I smoke a cig, and start the fire going in the wood stove, I put a wet log into it so it wouldn't get out of control while I was in the shower and when I leave.

I finish my coffee (which by the way was day old coffee, but still tasted ok, it woke me up), then I put the electric heater into the bathroom (which I call it the tomb stone) to warm it up before I shower. Then I wrap my hair up so that I can dry my body, and get dressed.

I wrapped it up with a tiny clip that barely hold my hair because my girls took the good ones, Oh well...

Do I look awake? I think not, my hair soakin' wet, I was up most of the night with my boyfriend because he couldn't sleep, that is part of the diabetes, neuropathology, burning in his legs and feet and then he has an incredible amount of pain shooting down his shoulder. I don't mind getting up with him, I get enough sleep, you sleep forever after you die, so those special moments at night are worth it..

This is after I blow dried my hair, its frizzy, and waiting for the hot iron to get hot.

Well I am ready to go get some real coffee, my hair is straightened and teeth brushed, and EB5 face cream is on, I am ready to start the day...

Me and Ted are going to Barnes and Nobles to read and hang out, its the best place to go on a rainy day like today...

This picture was taken this morning around 8am, pretty gloomy...its suppose to rain all weekend to...BLAH...can't wait until spring !!!
